PM an e-mail address to myself for an invite if you wish to contribute. I'm thinking this months theme can be freeform- see what gets bought to the table? and then winner chooses next months theme, 25th deadline and five day vote etc.

I had wondered what name would be given to the writing contest - in a way, his real name wouldn't have fitted as much as his screen name. I'm glad Renegade Dog was chosen. And I'm going to write something, because it would be a shitty start to a contest in RD's name if there were no entries. We'd better get on with it - life is waiting.

I think that up to 3000 words was agreed, but it's flexible; somewhat longer stories have been posted, and shorter is fine. Just write few enough words to give people time to read your story as well as the other stories, really.

For those new to the competition the rules are the same as before. If you're interested in submitting something message DotCom with your email address and he will send you an invite to the blog which hosts the actual stories themselves.

You have until the 25th to place your stories on the blog and then voting will be opened on here until the last day of the month. The winner gets a toblerone and chooses next months theme (which we then generally ignore) stories should be 3000 words or less, though we've been known to be flexible...

Readers are as important as writers to the competition so were as grateful to those who read and vote as we are to those who contribute the stories.

Although nobody will cry if you do 3500 words. It's just a vague guidline to ensure we have stories of a length that people can read and vote on and not novel-length stuff that might take more than a month to read

Only just seen this. Choked up after reading the tribute but very glad this has been done, nice one guys Very fitting.
